Terry Allen photo used on new R.E.M. album

09.26.2007

A Terry Allen image was chosen as the cover shot on the R.E.M. album "And I Feel Fine". It was the first time the band has ever used a photo of themselves as the front cover of the album! Stewart Copeland of the Police remarked that the photo had been computer enhanced because "REM NEVER jumped around and moved like that". But it's not true, the photo is straight off the roll of Tri-X film as it was shot in 1980!
